I added a poll over on the right. It may only be a vocal minority of whiny quitters, but it feels like there are a like of ex-WoW players reading and commenting here. Or you know, writing.

Yes is yes.No is no.Temporarily no is anywhere from "I didn't log in this week" to "finals are approaching and I need more time." In other words, it's to separate "not playing at this moment" from "I quit"

I still read your blog cause of your quirky writing, but I haven't played in months. signed up for a trial account with throwaway e-mail because I was feeling nostalgic... and realized that WoW no longer held any appeal to me. so yeah....

I read your blog because I find the way you write on topics more interesting and enjoyable than almost any other blogger there. My sub officially runs out on the 23rd June and at the moment I don't really want to log on anymore, it's like, after 3 and a half years, a switch has simply flipped and I'm not all that interested in the game anymore. Nothing bad, nothing negative, I have a *lot* of time and respect for Blizzard, I just don't really want to play World of Warcraft anymore.

Looks like votes are about even between playing and not (~40% each), with about 20% temporarily no, making a clear, but not overwhelming majority somewhere in the overall no camp (or would temps better go in the yes camp? Let's manipulate statistics to fit a narrative!). Or whatever, let's say 40-40-20 and note that the parallel informal survey in the comments is all no except one temp. That seems to prove my "vocal minority of whiny quitters" theory.

I play WoW, much more now that my wife discovered her inner undead warrior and mass pleasure for massacring ppl with a large two handed axe. I work 14 hour days and only play for raiding purposes during the week. But tons on the weekends. I read your blog cause your posts interesting and most times awesome.... and you share my loathing of pinko commis.... like that Tobold guy.
